I remember when I had a happy family, when all was perfect. When I went to school and I was popular. When my sister could do anything she wished without pain. But then it began.

My parents, they became soulless and gamblers. They were nothing more to me. How you ask? My sister was ill, with cancer. My parents called my sister the useless one because she had cancer but they didn't understand that if they helped her get some treatments that she could help a lot more then she was now.

I begged my parents for some help for my sister but they said "It's a waste of money, what is the point in trying to save someone that can't be saved?" and then they would just walk out the door like I was nothing. So I faked my age and got a job. I worked at Publix, and sure I got so little money but it was something.

A year after I started my job I only had half the money I needed for the treatment. I came home one day and I found my sister sprawled out on the floor, clenching her stomach. I couldn't tell the hospital or they might send us to child care and separate us. So when my parents came home I begged them to take her the doctor, they agreed.

Turns out she got a tumor in her stomach, and the cost for the surgery was three times as much as the cost for the treatment. Then they had to keep her in the hospital so it was 200$ per night. I asked my parents for help for a final time but they rejected and said "She is already half dead." And then they left.

I had to quit school and start to work all day, and if hours was available at night too. I knew time was running out, and I was getting no were even with all the hours I was working. I was desperate so I went to an all time low, I took a loan from bad people, and when I say bad people I mean BAD people. They told me if I didn't give them the money back when they needed it they would take something equally important from me.

I went to the hospital to pay for the treatment and stuff but they said I couldn't make the payment but my parents had too. I ran to my home and asked for my parents to pay for the room, treatment, and surgery. They took the money and told me that they would do it right away. They came home that night with a new car, new clothes, and a new TV. My heart sank, I knew they wouldn't use all that money on them right? "You paid for sister right?" I asked but they turned their heads and said "What is the use of spending money on someone nearly dead?" that's when I lost it. I yelled at them and screamed at them. After I finished I ran to the hospital. I cried with my sister, because all the work I had done went towards nothing.

A month later the doctor told the family and me that she only had a month to live. I spent every night with her after I heard the news. She soon passed on. She had a small funeral because my parents wouldn't pitch in any money for the funeral. I went back to school but it didn't make a difference I didn't know anything at all, and all my friends ignored me because of how WEIRD I became. People became to call me EMO and others said I was a FREAK but they didn't know the real truth.

After a while those BAD people came back and asked for their money back but I told them I didn't have enough money and then they took what mattered most to me, they took me. I didn't want to leave the one place my sister loved so I fought back and tried to run but they all had a good grip on me, but I somehow got loose and almost made it out but my parents came home. I asked for them to save me but those people grabbed me from behind and had me tied up. I screamed for help my parents almost helped me, but one of the people gave my parents a big wad of money and told them they could have it if they pretended that I ran away. My parents agreed to it too. They told me I was able to get one thing and I could bring it along. I ask if I could bring a knife but they said no, so I took a necklace my sister gave to me before she was diagnosed with cancer, when my family was perfect.

I was thrown into a truck and I was also blind folded. I went to sleep because I knew resistance was useless.

I awoke in a weird place, but someone told me that this was a slave auction off I don't remember who though but they dressed me and put me in a line behind a curtain. I look at what I was wearing and I looked like a total slut with maid clothes on! But then I heard "Now here comes the last group and the youngest! The 12 year olds through the 14 year olds!" and the curtain went up. They started to call names, and once someone's name was called they would step up and do a wave or something. I memorized what everyone then they called my name "Jade Chang" I stepped up and I did a big smile and waved. "8 thousand yen" someone said "9 thousand" Someone else's said "20 thousand yen" the first person said then there was a loud "OOOOOOHHHH" someone then yelled "Sold!" I walked off stage and the person who bought me took me out side. The person handed me something, it was a small ear plug, he pointed at his ear and I got the message. He wanted me to put the plug in my ear. I put it in "This is a device that will help you understand Japanese; the plug also helps us understand you too." "Okay" I replied but I didn't sound any different. "We will go to Japan now." He said and he opened up the door to a limousine that came out of no were. I walked in and I noticed there was a TV and refreshments in the limo. I sat there in amazement. I barely had this expensive stuff back at,… home. I fell asleep on the seat which was quite comfy.

I awoke in a completely different scene, I was in a round bed and I had a red blanket on top of me. It felt like silk. I looked to my right and I noticed there was a note on the night table. I grabbed the note and it read,

Dear Mrs. Jade, when you wake up will you please call this number, 7098

I realized that it didn't have an area code so I guessed it only worked for this house. I looked at the night table and noticed a small pink cell phone. I picked it up and dialed the number. "Hello, is this Jade?" asked the voice on the other side of the phone, "Yes." I answered, and then the line went dead.

After a few minutes of looking through the room I found an Itouch, a HD TV and the remote that goes with it, and a desk with all the supplies a student needs and that include a laptop.

I looked in the closet and the closet was huge! It looked like a brand new room but only clothes; there was a bikini section, a maid outfit section, and a section with a school uniform outfit. The uniforms went to a yellow dress to a brown dress.

I left the room and there was the man who picked me up, "Hello." He said. I waved back, "I had bought you because you are the same age as the masters, and they need a friend. Since you are going to be their friend you will be going to the same school as them and you will be in the same class and you also will be seated with them." He said. I felt like protesting because they can't force me to be friends, but then again they did buy me. "Go change into your uniform, you may have many but only choose one. You hair dresser will be here soon." He said "I'm a maid, why do I get special treatment?" I asked and he answered "You have the hardest job of all"

I decided to go with the maid outfit that had a Short skirt dress (Went up to my knees) with a whit apron over it, and white tights under it. As accessories I had my hair up in a pony tail with a white bow holding it together, then I had black high hells on, a diamond ring with matching necklace and earrings, and I had no makeup on at all.

When I looked in the mirror I looked nothing like my old self. I looked like a rich girl that you always found in TV shows. It's funny how several months ago I had nothing, and now I have all the things I wished I had.

The stylist led me to a dining room and he instructed "You will eat lunch with the masters, play games, and then go to the pool." He said. The man left and left me alone. "I don't believe they are making us do this, I hate it when mother is pushy" said a voice. I turned around to find two twin brothers. They looked so much alike but I could tell the difference immediately, to tell the truth I really don't know how I could tell the truth. They looked up and I got a good look at their faces. They both had a yellow eyes and red hair. They both had tuxedos on which made them look actually, attractive. Their hair was combed down and parted different ways. "Hi!" I said with a smile and the first real smile in a long time. "Hi" the replied but they said it in a harmony and sounded robotic. They sounded as if they were bored.

We sat at the table. There was a long silence, and I didn't even know their names "What's your name?" asked the boy with the hair parted to the left. "Jade and what's your name?" I said. "My names Kaoru" said the boy with the hair parted to the left "My names Hikaru" said the boy with the hair parted to the right.

Believe it or not but they have a waiter, and the waiter came by and asked "What would you like to eat?" the twins asked for some tea and I went the American way "May I please have coke?" I asked the waiter looked shocked but nodded his head. "Your American?" asked Hikaru "Yes, how did you ever know?" I asked with sarcasm "You ordered coke" Kaoru answered for Hikaru. "Do you always do that?" I asked "Do what?" asked Hikaru "Complete each other's sentences." I answered "we just do" answered Kaoru. "HAHAHA! YOU DID IT AGAIN!" I laughed. They looked shocked by my laughter. They joined the laughter. They looked so happy laughing, it was so cutie!

After we settled down "Why did you join me laughing at you guys?" I asked. They stood quite. 'Is it because there's something on my face?" I asked they still stood quite. "Did you forget how to talk? Or are you using twin telepathy to plan against me?" I asked. The waiter came by with our drinks the twins got their tea in a china tea set, it reminded me of a tea set my sister and I always used to play with. I got my coke in a fancy glass. There was a note under the cup and it read

Make another conversation. Here are some topics, school, home, and hobbies.

I looked up to see the twins got a note to see the twins with a similar note. I cracked a smile and a giggle. "What would you like to eat?" asked the waiter then Kaoru answered "Hikaru will have a salad and so will I, and Jade will have a steak." Hikaru nodded, the waiter turned to me and asked "how would you like it?" then Hikaru answered "She will have it medium well." The waiter turned around and left.

We stood quite for a while, and the anxiety was getting to me. I found a straw next to my fork, and it still had the paper wrapping on it. I ripped off the paper, ripped a piece of the paper, stuffed it in the straw and blew into the straw. The paper piece hit Kaoru in the fore head. He looked up and I hid the evidence that I had done the crime. When he looked back at Hikaru, I recharged my straw and hit Hikaru in the forehead. He looked up and looked quite puzzled. They both looked up at the same time with, a STRAW!

The ultimate straw war began. We dashed away from the table and hid from each other. Luckily I found the kitchen and I grabbed about a dozen or more straws. A little alarm went off and a voice from the other side came out.

"We need straws for the Masters, there in the living room."

HAHAHA! I told the Waiter that I would take the straws to the twins. I also asked for directions to the living room and they told me to use the employee elevator. I took the elevator, and during the ride I fill ALL the straws and hid them.

The doors opened and I found the twins hiding under the table. I fired at them and with the little straws that they had they shot back too.

I went back to the room after the straw war to get into a bathing suit. I chose a purple bathing suit with a black bottom.

When I got to the pool I saw Kaoru and Hikaru trying to get the paper wads out of their hair by the pool. "OW!" Kaoru yelled and Hikaru looked at him with worry in his eyes. I jumped into the pool and all the paper wads came out, and the underwater vacuum cleaned up the paper mess. I got up, pulled the twins up, and pushed them into the pool.

They resurfaced the water and got out. "These bathing suits aren't meant to get wet!" Hikaru exclaimed. "What's the point of a bathing suit if it can't get wet?" They stood quite for a moment. "Sorry" I said. They looked up with a face with shock "Why are you apologizing if you didn't know you weren't supposed to get us wet." Kaoru said. "Well I don't know how much it cost." "Well if you want to make it up, you should play a game with us." Hikaru said and Kaoru finished "So let's play 'Who's Hikaru Game'!" I laughed, this would be a breeze. "Okay!" I said they put on their hats, which they got out of nowhere. They twisted around and round. They stopped and in harmony they said "Who's who?"

I pointed at Hikaru and yelled "HIKARU!" and then I pointed at Kaoru "KAORU!". They stood there shocked "Mission accomplished" I said with a nod.

We stood at the pool for the rest of the afternoon and played pool games for the rest of the afternoon.

Hikaru POV

"You know she's not that bad." I said to Kaoru. He turned around and said "Does someone have a crush?" he was making a devious face. I felt my cheeks heating up. "No!" I said but then Kaoru said "Since you don't like her, I call dibs" Then I yell "NO!" "Her bathing suit looked cutie today though." I said "I already called dibs." Kaoru said.

After the while of silence Kaoru said "She can tell the difference between us, that's weird right. After maid so long ago, do you think what she said was true?" "To tell you the truth, I really don't know." I answered.

Kaoru jumped into bed and I joined him "Night." I yawned but Kaoru actually fell asleep in a minute flat.
